Dark Marks On The Face. Acne Scars Or Hyperpigmentation? How To Remove Them Quickly?
I have dark marks all over my face after a bad break out I had a month ago. They are really bothering me! I don t even have the confidence to walk outside anymore, and to make things worse, there s a party coming up for a girl I really like, and she really won t want me with dark marks all in my face. Are these acne scars or hyperpigmentation? And how can I deal with this quickly?

Hello
Thanks for posting question on HCM,
Most probably you are having post acne pigmented scars ,there are three ways to deal.
1 Application of tretinoin cream and sunblock in morning.
2 If no response chemical peeling with glycolic acid
3 If little or no response advice procedure called Microdermabrasion
At this stage you apply tretinoin cream at night and sunblock spf60 at morning before going outside
Let me know after 2weeks
Hope this will alleviate your anxiety
